The republican party has unquestionably
played out, along with its old policy, and
unless it has some new and better policy to
inaugurate, we cannot see the shadow of
ground it has to stand upon in the future.
The democrats have only to rid the country
of the internal revenue system and make q
proper modification of the oppressive tariff
laws instituted by the republican party, to
make the success of democratic admins

How to Make the Farm Pay.
By Our Agricultural Editor.

By Our Agricultural Editor.
We have said it thousand times before
perhaps, but we expect to keep saying it
to the end, that the only hope LETT to the
farmer now ia to curtail expenses in every
department of the farm. And the way to
do this and to make the farm pay is, to re-
duce the number of titled acres to one-half
or one-third, diversity and rotate creps,
concentrate labor and manure, and make
every acre we till produce bale of cotton,
ten barrels of corn, 1900 pounds of oats,
80 bushels of peanuts. or 200 pounds of
tobacco.
Then after we get our tillable land to
this, or while attaining it, let us put the
land we have left out of cultivation into
grass and pasture our cattle, sheep and
hogs at home, and by penning them at night
increase the manure piles all the year round.
Let us then buy nothing that we can pro-
duce at home, and nothing that we can dis
pense with without loss or great lnconven-
fence; and soon, very soon, change will
come over the farm, it will smile in plenty,
and then it will begin to pay, and we shall
take pleasure and pride in our farms and
farming. Under ADDeal,

FIRE DEPARTME EMIT.

This department has proven itself
very efficient. and with some few additions
to the apparatus will be able to secure our
city against any great loss from fire.
Chief Dunning, however, claims that the
department would he much benefited if
Main street was paved with fire brick from
Twenty-fourth TO Twelfth streets, ~ the
engines and reels from the South Side
would then have a much shorter distance
to travel, and could make faster time to a
fire in the business portion of the city.
This would also be a great saving in the
the wear of horses and apparatus. By
acting on Mr.. Dunning's suggestion you
not only increase the efficiency of the fire
department, but you confer a boon upon
the people residing or doing business on
Main street.

The attention of our citizens is earnestly
directed to the opportunity nov afforded
of subscribing to the stock OF the Wheeling
China Company, the new enterprise which
is proposed 30 be hMugurated in our city
at an early day. The incOrpOrators Of the
company have already enlisted the services
of a Superintendent in the person of n
thoroughly competent man, long at the
head of one of the largest china
producing companies in the world,
and the gentleman, after looking over the
field, has given it rs his opinion that great
success awaits the enterprise. He shows
his faith, too, by announcing his willing
Ness to take a considerable amount Of
stock. II Is proposed to manufacture
china and the better grades of porcelain
ware, and the advantages Of natural gas
promises the very best class of goods.
Stock is being taken rapidly, and those
who contemplate subscribing should do
so before the 18th, Is they will
thus be enabled to have u voice in the
election of officers. Stock can be secured
of Mr.. J. ID. Ewing, the attorney, Col.
Thomas O'Brien, or Mr.. John II. Ewing,
at Ewing Bros
This new enterprise will bring quite a
number of skilled workmen to II city,
besides giving employment to q large
number of our own people, and for this
reason alone it should be actively encOur-
aged by our mOnied men.

AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE
At the Young Mems Christian Association
Rooms, Last Night.

At the Young Mems Christian Association
Rooms, Last Night.
A good-sized audience assembled in the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian AssO-
citation, last night, to hear the talk by DIR.
T. q. Edwards ON Man as a Machine
The Doctor began by explaining the
grand primal law which governs the uni
verse and extends to every order of exist
ence, known rs the law of conservation
and correlation OF force. He said that no
force is being lost or created anew, but
that the same force is used in multitude
nous ways. Life is but a part of the gen.
eral store of force in the universe, which
has been borrowed from others and by
them exchanged. There is no destruction
of this force; fire changes the form of
il, but the weight Of its
eompOnents remains the same, and
while putreEaetiOn resolves it into its
elements the same as fire, nothing is de-
stroyed by it.
1t IL only necessary to change the condl-
ton of matter to develop its silent force.
The wood in 4 bow contains q certain
amount of force, which only needs the cord
and tension to develop it. Flowers and
plants develop in the formation of coal
the force and heat which they absorb from
the sun. He referred to the idea of George
StevenSOn's that the heat which was stored
mp in coal originated in the sun, and said
that this p~Oetical idea, which was at one
time considered q fancy, was o a COM
Portable fact.
He then cited several examples of the
transmission of force in the application to
machinery and showed how muscular force
which winds the clock and the power
which turns the water wheel, were alike
drawn from the sun, and electricity, steam
and the other forces were each put into
operation by its rays. But" he said, mo
other machine so perfectly extracts and
transmits force as the human body, and i'll
this operation the food plays an all impOr-
taut part, The labOring man gets more
energy from his slice of fat bacon than the
wealthy epicure from his table groaning
with rich yiands. The well and BEAUTIFULLY
fed man is much more able to stand fatigue
than one who is poorly ted"
He then spoke at some length upon the
intellectual part of the human machine,
and the necessity OF a healthy condition of
the nervous system and showed the effect
of various emotions upon the
body through the medium of
the nerves. Then after presenting
numerous definitions of life by the eminent
philosophers, scientists, etc, he said that
the meaning of life mattered very little
compared with the way in which it is spent,
and concluded by a selection from the
works Of Wheeling's poet, VIM. Leighton,
to the same effect.
The audience paid the most profound
attention to the whole of the talk and at
its conclusion rewarded him with a hearty
burst of applause.
On next Tuesday night DIR. S. L. JepsOn
will speak upon the nervous system, the
heart and the lungs, under the title OF
The Tripod of Life" All are invited.

The Eighth Man Signed.

The Wheeling Base Ball Association
signed its eighth player Yesterday in Geo.
Mallory. Mallory is a resident of Martins
Ferry and has no reputation as a local
twirler, but he did fairly good work in
Hamilton, Canada, last season, with the
International League team of that place.
He played the greater part of last year
with the Port Hope club, also of Canada.
He is about "a years old, weighs, when in
condition, 175 pounds, and is six feet two
inches in height. His build is not so har-
monious as might be desired, but ne be-
longs to the same style of pitchers as Foutz
and Healy and the home club thinks he
may prove a decided acquisition.

The Western Nail Association.

The Western Nail Association meets in
Chicago to-day. The price is to he adj
vanced from s. 10, where it now is, to
81. 20 or 81. s5. When nails advance over
$2.75 the workers scale allows IN advance
Of . cents for every raise of 10 per cent.
and the workmcn here are consequently
iubilant over the prospect. The spring
trade is the cause of the advance.
The Eastern Association meets ON Thurs,
day at Philadelphia. If the Western meu
put up the price the Etstern men are also
to advance it. At their last meeting they
advanced the price to s.. 40, which is equaI
to $2.65 in Western prices, and this tint
they will advance to 81 80.
